Would anyone be willing to share how formalin is disposed of at your
facility? Neutralization, disposal off site, etc. Thank you.

Yes, the negative control updated change is in effect as of July 31. 2012. I
contacted CAP personally this week and was directed to the revised ANP.22570.
It only applies to polymer based detection systems (biotin-free).

We neutralize it and then dump down the drain with tons of running water.

Our department of Research Safety picks it up (5 gal) container. They are
responsible for disposal. I believe it goes offsite.

After testing ALL available neutralizers in the market I was able to detect
the presence of aldehyde (formalin) in the neutralized product.
In consequence I decided that the best option, albeit not the cheapest, was to
contract a specialized company to take of the disposal.
Mind that even when

Proper disposal of formaldehyde is a topic that has been discussed
many times on Histonet - Google:
histosearch formalin disposal
A great deal of misinformation circulates about this subject. I think
basically it's what your local regulatory agencies - particularly the
water department - want
Does anyone know of any articles talking about not using negative
controls when using a polymer based detection system.

Hello and TGIF to everyone. I'm exploring getting a new microtome and would
like to draw on the vast knowledge and experience out there in Histoland. The
three I'm looking at are: the Zeiss Hyrax M55, Thermo Scientific ME+, and the
Leica RM2255.
Thanks,

I'm using the Primera Slide printer from Creative Waste Solutions. It is
really working well for us. It's user friendly and so far we have had no
problems. The really cool thing you can do is print a stripe of color across
the top of the slide to designate a certain kind of procedure for that

The RM2255 is a workhorse. We have three of those and 3 RM2155s as an older
model. The 2255 is the best. I had used the 2255 in the past to cut plastic
with a tungsten carbide knife and it held up better than anything else
available at the time.
